A self-leadership program to help students flourish
Unique to Perth College, InsideOut is a world-recognised self-leadership program for our youngest students through to our most senior. Our aim is to develop young people who are well-rounded in all aspects of their lives. Students who are capable, courageous and caring and grow beyond their years at Perth College.
The InsideOut self-leadership program is based on a positive psychology model, encouraging students to flourish by fostering inner development for outer excellence. We utilise the latest science from positive psychology to empower students with the mindset and skills to cultivate a lasting sense of wellbeing and proactively apply their character strengths to be the best version of themselves.
Research has shown the significance of wellbeing as core to educational outcomes for students across all year groups. The students flourish when they experience positive emotions, are engaged in what they are doing and learning, accomplish their goals, enjoy good relationships, and have a sense of meaning. We understand that every person has their own character strengths and seek to encourage them to ensure they are seen, heard and experienced.
Our program runs from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 and is tailored to each stage of learning.
There are four key stages to the program,
- Stepping In: The Early Years (PK to 2)
- Stepping Towards: The Junior Years (3 to 6)
- Stepping Up: Transitioning into the Senior School (7 to 9), and
- Stepping Beyond: The Final Years of Schooling (10 to 12).
